A Suggestion to the Travelling
Puhlic.

Tourists, emigrants and mariners
find that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is a medicinal safeguard against
unhealthful influences upon which
they can implicitly rely, since it
prevents the effects of vitiated
atmosphere, unaccustomed or un-
wholesome diet, bad water, or other
conditions unfayorable to health.
On long voyages, or journeys in
latitudes adjacent to the equator, it
is especially useful as a preventa-
tive of the febrile complaints and
disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowls, which are apt to attack
natives of the ten perate zone
sojourning or travelling in such re-
gions, and it is an excellent
protection against the influence of
extreme cold, sudden changes of
temperature, exposure to damp or
extreme fatigue. 1t not only pre-
vents intermittent and remittent
fever, and other diseases of mala-
rial type, but eradicates them, a
fact which has been notorious tor
years past in North and South
America, Mexico, the West Indies,
Australia and other countries.

Political Notes From District
Four.

AS far as has been ascertained
the sentiment in this district for
the next campaign is in favor of a
"free race" and if a free race it
should be, the "6eld" will be full
Of candidates.
Then it may not be inappropri-
ate to apply the candidates. test,
thus:
1st. Is he honest, sober and
qualified?
End. If elected, will he perform
the duties Of the office without fear
or favor?
For Representative, G. II. Firth
will have about his same support.
T. L. McGehee has withdrawn,
and says he will not be a candidate.
H. H. Ratcliff, Geo. A. McGehee,
Polk Talbert, James Wilmington,
and r. w. Stratton are all spoken
of, but some object to Floyd on ac-
count of his wearing his hair so
long.
For Sheriff, Van Robinson is
quite popular, and will be hard to
beat. D. NJ. Butler is compare
lively stranger here, but those
who know him best speak well Of
him. P. R. Brewer and P. L. Mar
sails are favorably spoken of in
connection with this office.
For Circuit Clerk, Mole Mclean
will have no opposition here, pro-
vided he will not do any more Of
his "peculiar" voting-"viva voce"
voting, DeileVe, is the way he ex-
plained it.
For Chancerry Clerk and Treas
urer, Bates and Parker will have a
"walk" or rather a chop over"
as no one here is disposed to eight"
cripples.
This is about as far down the
ticket as the writer has "sonnded." ("
May resume the ''soundings" and
communicate the results later on, il
desired.
Everything is serene along
